    Multiplatform XDefiant (Release: May 21, 2024)

    That’s comms though like you’d originally said; with that, fully agree. I mention specifically marketing collateral, where Ubi has long produced graphics or trailers much cooler than the games themselves. Following Clark’s observation of lack of trailer to galvanise the upcoming launch, I...

    Sherbytes: Industry News Megathread, v.2

    Yeah, it's tricky. Warframe from Canada's Digital Extremes, for example, procedurally generates mission maps by what's called tile-setting, or using tilesets to construct rooms with start and extraction rooms beginning and ending said maps. As someone with years in the game, I think they're...

    Multiplatform XDefiant (Release: May 21, 2024)

    This project's endured both production bumps and false starts not unlike Skull & Bones, iirc, leaving target segment in the dark, I think. Ubi has always excelled at marketing collateral like trailers so it's wild to me the one thing they're good at, they're not doing here. Interesting catch. I...

    Multiplatform Official Dragon's Dogma 2 Discussion

    I don't think the lore allows for another true Arisen so if you mean the four-man parties trailside and such (usually near campsites), I've seen them and in passing love the adventurer-to-adventurer camaraderie but find them too easy an aggro when (almost always) ambushed nearby. Related, this...

    Multiplatform Official Dragon's Dogma 2 Discussion

    Still having a blast. Around 50h in. Slew my first dragon a few sessions ago. Survived by the skin of my teeth and in the process blew through most healing items. I learnt a lot but hadn't a strategy, which I paid for dearly over the 25-minute battle. Will be smarter next time. Kicker was I...

    Multiplatform Official Dragon's Dogma 2 Discussion

    Warrior is a class I found surprisingly deep or adaptable where I'd presumed it at first hammer-go-boink straightforward. A class that makes little sense in this is Trickster, though. If we had RL co-op and not pawn co-op, I would see class viability in that. As a role categorically without...

    What are you playing? v.10 (Red Falcon Edition)

    ...from the series that I've never forgotten. One is: This spot marks our grave. You may rest here too...if you like. Eerily delivered, wonderful. *gooseflesh Second is both inspiring and haunting at the same time: Rise if you would, for that is our curse. I've long felt this line broke the...

    Yeah, I was going to say Tunic is apparently cool AF – Soulsy Zelda something something, I've read. Your initial take was also mine when I'd first seen the list though, admittedly.

    Multiplatform Official Lies of P (Pinocchio Souls) Discussion

    It feels like game design for the subgenre has been trending this way to bloat difficulty. A cinematic or lore bit used to accompany select second phases, which gave meaning, but now it's just running every boss back so it's longer. Related, the industry in general still disappoints on design...

    Multiplatform Alan Wake II

    Despite generally positive reception and being out half a year now, AWII has yet to make back its budget, it’s reported. It was confirmed two months ago that more than 1.3M units had been sold. For more perspective, I’ve read the budget stood around 70M USD with 50M for production and 20M for...

    PlayStation Official Stellar Blade Discussion

    Lovestorm mentioned an impression of his that blood FX seem reduced from demo. On changes elsewhere, did strikes get any weightier or punchier by chance? That was something I'd wanted after the demo but it's hard to verbalise. Know what I mean? Weight and less float.
